Thank you Congressman Melvin L. Watt
(D-North Carolina)!

Congressman Watt has written that "[I] have raised a legitimate
concern which [he has] brought to the attention of the Commissioner of
the Immigration and Naturalization Service." Apparently the INS may
be considering issuing regulations to address this problem. However, if
the problem cannot be resolved through the regulatory process, Congressman
Watt has asked to be informed so that he can consider filing the appropriate
legislation.

Thank you Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren
(D-California)!

Congresswoman Lofgren has written to Congressman Lamar Smith, Chairman
of the Immigration and Claims Subcommittee, "asking for his assistance
in addressing situations such as [mine]." Although "it is unlikely
that the problems with Section 531 will be resolved this Congress, [she]
is hopeful that such a review will occur as early as possible next year."
